That and an actively hostile hardware environment to open source dev in the aarch world.

OS’ on x86 are also a nerdy niche, yet Linux numbers are growing by the day, even seeing large vendors moving to first part support. None of this is allowed to exist in the mobile market exclusively for the profit margins of a few companies.

Side note imagine how cool it would be in a world without that enshitification, old phones could be recycled for 90% of pi projects, with better specs than the most expensive pi.

Can’t mount networked filesystem’s in android, but you can use a file browser app to emulate the same thing.

You can mount /var and /tmp to the ssd, lot of tutorials on doing this for Pis SD cards if your googling.

SElinux blocks this for aosp and its forks.

I largely agree, but I could see having a prebuild iso/img including uboot for most common boards being a lot more user friendly than doing it by hand.

That and a binary cache could make things take a couple mins for a download vs a couple days to compile the kernel + all packages for any user with lower end hardware.

Kinda like what armbian provides for the arm space, but with a lot harder initial curve by hand rolling their own distro.

Have you thought about giving Godot a try?

Its much more suited to your PC’s specs, and can be downloaded/ran through a much easier methods like flatpaks.

No no the fearmongering headline says “Linux root” it must be a kernel issue, not some obscure unnecessary meta package manager.
